Executive Summary

Electric vehicles increase the interest in breakthrough energy-storage technology. One approach is to develop solid-state battery (SSB). A primary challenge in SBBs is the development of new manufacturing techniques for ceramic layers, and the assembly of these layers into new cell architectures. This invention presents a novel slurry formulation for the fabrication of thin ceramic layers for SSB applications.

Description of Technology

Slurry formulations are known and utilized in ceramics industries such as low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC). However, additional constrains must be considered with electrochemical applications such as SSBs. This invention proposes a novel method of inclusion of the sintering aide: the sintering aide is added as a liquid and is formed in-situ.
